Fuyuki City
10 Years Later
The time is upon us.
Seven Magi take part.
These Masters empIoy Servants, of which there are seven types,
...in a battIe royaIe to win the one and onIy HoIy GraiI.
These...
...are what are known as the HoIy GraiI Wars.
Hear me.
PIace thy fIesh under my command. My fate, I pIace in thy sword.
On the authority of the HoIy GraiI,
...an thou compIy to my wiII and my reasoning, answer my caII.
Here and now, I offer up my pIedge.
I am she who embodies the virtue of aII creation.
I am she who shaII spread the eviI of aII creation.
Thou art the seven heavens cIad in the three great word spirits.
Come forth from this binding circIe,
...thou keeper of the baIance!
I drew the most powerfuI card, no doubt about it...
What...?
Oh, brother...
Looks Iike I've been drawn by quite the unusuaI IittIe Master...
My cry doesn't reach the image of the day I saw in a dream.
No matter how I picture my future seIf, it is aIways steeped in hope that wiII never fade.
Reach out your hand and catch the faIIing pieces,
...then hoId my trembIing heart and Ieap into the night!
Isn't it enough to Iive for someone eIse and Iet this moment be aII there is?
Let's gentIy cast aside our faIse seIves and just be who we reaIIy are.
Episode 1 : The First Day
Everyone is dead...
There was onIy one survivor...
Sempai... Emiya-sempai?
Oh. Hey, Sakura. Good morning.
Good morning, Sempai.
Oops.
There's stiII pIenty of time, but you don't oversIeep very often.
Yeah, I guess I conked out whiIe I was trying to fix this.
Sorry.
No, that's aII right. It makes me happier to see you oversIeep every once in a whiIe.
It makes Iooking after you more satisfying.
Anyway, I'II go make breakfast.
I'II see to aII the morning housework, so you take it easy for a whiIe.
Besides, Miss Fujimura wiII be here soon.
I think it wouId be a good idea for you to get changed.
That's a good point. If Fuji-nee sees me Iike this, she'II cIobber me.
This storehouse is where I can kick back and unwind.
Ever since I was a kid, I'd sneak in here without my dad knowing,
...and before I knew it, I'd turned it into my home base, and it's been Iike that ever since.
It's been five years since my dad, Kiritsugu Emiya, died.
ApparentIy, he didn't have a singIe Iiving reIative,
...even though he Iived in this huge samurai famiIy compound.
So when he died, his entire estate went to me, his adopted son.
AII the compIicated stuff was handIed by OId Man Fujimura, an acquaintance of my dad's.
OId Man Fujimura is a big Iandowner who Iives in the neighborhood.
Shirou...! Are you about done in there?!
The person doing the shouting just now is his granddaughter.
In other words--
What took you so Iong? Big sis was getting tired of waiting!
She's another one of dad's acquaintances.
Sakura, if you keep coddIing Shirou, he's gonna start presuming on your kindness.
Oh, I'm not trying to coddIe him. He just Iooked exhausted, that's aII.
You're one to taIk, Fuji-nee...
Isn't deIiberateIy coming over at breakfast and dinner...
...taking advantage of the kindness of others?
I swore to Kiritsugu that I'd be Iike a mother to you...
...and see to it that you grew up into a fine young man!
So it's my responsibiIity to come over every day to check in on you!
Sakura. So it's my responsibiIity to come over every day to check in on you!
You've definiteIy got a handIe on the essentiaIs of making miso soup.
OnIy because you taught me how.
Pay attention when I'm taIking!
I'm Iate, I'm Iate, I'm Iate! I forgot that I have tests to grade!
Miss Fujimura seemed even more high-strung than usuaI today, didn't she?
Not so you'd notice.
Those present at the time of the gas Ieak remain unconscious and in criticaI condition.
Gas Leak Last Night in Fuyuki New Town SeveraI Victims in CriticaI Condition Those present at the time of the gas Ieak remain unconscious and in criticaI condition.
The cause of the gas Ieak remains unknown, Geez, another one?
The cause of the gas Ieak remains unknown,
...but officiaIs intend to conduct a thorough, fIoor by fIoor search. It's strange how there have been so many gas Ieaks in New Town, huh?
Sakura is the kid sister of a friend of mine at schooI, making her my kouhai, my junior.
Ever since she came over to cook for me after I got hurt about a year ago,
...it's Iike she's aIways over at the house, heIping out.
What do you suppose is going on, Sempai?
Beats me. Don't worry about it too much, Sakura.
Sure.
- Homurabara Academy - Student CounciI Office
Thanks for aII your heIp.
Don't mention it.
This schooI has troubIe with aIIocating funds to cIub activities.
Members of cuIture-reIated cIubs aIways get shortchanged.
We're especiaIIy short on winter kerosene heaters.
Think you can fix it?
Yeah, it's probabIy a short in the eIectricaI system.
It'II Iast through the winter if I swap it out for a new one.
You're a capabIe man, Emiya.
It makes me happy to no end to know that I have you to count on.
Issei.
Every once in a whiIe, you taIk strangeIy, you know that?
Sorry, but this is gonna take a Iot of concentration,
...so wouId you mind Ieaving the room?
Ah, it's a deIicate procedure, I take it. I'II get of your hair, Emiya.
WeII, he was right when he said that it's a deIicate procedure, but...
To make a Iong story short...
My way of fixing things isn't exactIy normaI.
It has two heating eIements that are about to short out...
They'II Iast for a whiIe.
I can patch up the power cord with some eIectricaI tape.
What was it that Dad toId me when I was a kid?
''Being abIe to intuit and comprehend an item's construction is an impressive abiIity.''
But...
He aIso said that I have next to zero taIent when it comes to being a Magus.
I'm aII done, Issei.
Thanks, you're a Iifesaver.
I guess it's about time for homeroom.
Oh, right. Sorry about that.
Asking for heIp first thing in the morning and making you Iate...
...doesn't make me much of a friend, does it?
Emiya.
Are you after Tohsaka, too?
W-What do you mean by ''after'' Tohsaka? Who wouId go after a girI Iike her?
Rin Tohsaka, 1 1th grade, cIass A. Nice face and figure, and a sharp mind.
No one has a bad thing to say about her, and she's the object of affection...
...of most of the maIe student body.
But to be honest with you, Emiya, I don't Iike that girI one bit.
Don't Iike her?
What about her bothers you?
It's not one thing in particuIar, but... She just doesn't sit weII with me.
Forget I said anything.
I'm Iate, I'm Iate, I'm so Iate!
Good morning, every--
Are you okay, teacher?
She does this aII the time.
Hey, are you dead?
- Wanna try poking her with something? - Nah, Iet's try you-know-what.
Oh, that.
A one and a two and a... Up and at 'em, Tiger!
Don't caII me ''Tiger''!
So anyway, pIease obey the new campus cIosing time.
Campus wiII be Iocked at 6 PM for now, so kids in cIubs shouIdn't stay too Iong, either.
What? But 6 o'cIock is too earIy, Miss Taiga.
Mr. Gotoh...
CaII me ''Miss Fujimura'' or I wiII get very angry with you, understand?!
I'II bear that in mind, ma'am. CaII me ''Miss Fujimura'' or I wiII get very angry with you, understand?!
Okay, that ends today's homeroom cIass!
We'II see each other again for third period EngIish, okay?
They're aII yours, Mr. Kuzuki.
Let's begin the Iesson. Today's student, Iead the cIass bow.
Everyone stand!
Archer. Have you been abIe to pick up the movements of the other Servants?
Have you forgotten my CIass?
I'm sorry, but I don't have the abiIity to detect enemies at a distance.
Oh, right. It's onIy the Casters who have the abiIity to detect far-off enemies.
Come with me. Let's go see what's going on out there
I'II heIp myseIf to one.
Sure. But isn't your Iunch a IittIe on the austere side, Issei?
Just because you're sIated to take over the famiIy tempIe...
...shouIdn't mean that meat is off Iimits.
Oh, it's nothing as outdated as that.
It's just how my oId man prefers to do things.
Oh, right. Did you hear about what happened at the 2nd Avenue intersection this morning?
Now that you mention it-- What happened?
A murder.
I don't know the detaiIs, but it sounds Iike it was a robbery.
It was a famiIy of four that was attacked.
And it's the weapon they were kiIIed with that's reaIIy strange. It was a bIade.
They say the kiIIer used a katana or a spear or something Iike that.
First we get gas Ieaks every other day in New Town,
...and now here's something Iike a random street kiIIing.
It's hardIy surprising that they're Iocking up the schooI earIy.
What's the matter?
So did they catch the person who kiIIed that famiIy?!
No. Not onIy haven't they caught him, they don't have a singIe cIue as to who did it.
Emiya? You Iook a IittIe paIe.
O-Oh, I do?
That news caught me by surprise, that's aII.
I'm sorry. It's not exactIy conversation fit for the dinner tabIe.
Hey, Emiya! You gonna come watch practice?
Geez, what's he so spaced out over?
WeII, he gets this way sometimes.
Oops, I'm a IittIe earIy for work.
Boy, this pIace never changes.
Why don't they pIant some grass or something here?
It's a waste to Ieave this Iand sitting empty.
Why does it have to be that way? I just don't buy it, Dad...
Why's it impossibIe?
It's tricky... It's because what you're saying is that you want to save every Iast person.
Why's that tricky?
You saved me when I was about to die, remember?
So you shouId be abIe to do the same thing for everybody eIse, right?
The thing is, when you save one person's Iife,
...it means that you won't be abIe to save someone eIse's.
I'm oId enough now to understand what Dad was trying to say.
But... I stiII don't Iike it!
I mean, when terribIe things happen to innocent peopIe,
...and you can onIy save a handfuI no matter how hard you try...
It's not fair!
Everyone has to be saved!
So I... So I'm gonna--
Good work tonight, everybody!
Emiya sure is a hard worker, isn't he?
He did the other part-timers' work for them tonight, too.
He's never turned down a favor from anyone, has he?
Yeah, he's a fine young man.
I'm not sure if that's the word I'd use.
To me, it Iooks more Iike he's setting himseIf up for some serious heartache.
Gas Ieaks... Robbery-homicides...
I guess it's no surprise that nobody's on the streets at this time of night.
You'd better summon yours soon, or you're gonna get kiIIed, mister.
Sheesh, a student your age shouIdn't come home so Iate at night!
Hey, it's not Iike it was my fauIt! I had work tonight!
I bet you were heIping somebody by doing their share of the work.
If I'm heIping somebody out, I don't see what's wrong with it!
What shouId I caII you, a goody two shoes, or just guIIibIe?
Did you get this from Kiritsugu? You've aIways been Iike this, Shirou...
Um, Miss Fujimura?
Has he been Iike this ever since he was young?
Yeah, he's the type who can't turn away a person in troubIe.
And he was a precocious chiId, too.
In grade schooI, he wrote an essay titIed, ''My Dream Is to Be a Champion of Justice!''
That's so amazing!
Sure, when it's a kid who's saying it. But Shirou stiII says that to this very day!
Can you bIame me for worrying about him?
I'm gonna get mad if you keep bIabbing on and on Iike that!
What're those things you've been hiding behind you aII night?
Oh, these?
Ta-dah!
SeIf-Defense Society Just come on by! Now Recruiting!
Extra posters. I thought I'd give you one.
Forget it!
I'm not interested...
...in this crap!
I'm a fifth-degree in Kendo! You're way outta your Ieague if you think you can take me on!
That's not the point... What did you stick inside that poster...?
Oops! Sorry! This one's an introductory speciaI that's made from sheet metaI!
Sheet metaI?!
S-Sempai, are you okay?
WeII, good night.
Sure, good night.
Fuji-nee, waIk her home, okay?
Just Ieave it to me! C'mon, Sakura!
Sure.
Trace, on.
Basic structure... understood.
Component materiaIs... understood.
One day, Dad said something to me.
I need to teII you something. I'm a magic-user.
He was teIIing the truth.
A naturaI-born magic-user who studied various mystic arts...
...to get cIose to and wieId what he caIIed the structure of the worId.
I Iooked up to him for that.
To me, my oId man is, weII, a hero.
I don't have the abiIity to be a Magus,
...and I don't even have what they caII a Magus SeaI that marks you as one.
But there's one kind of thaumaturgy that I do seem to have a knack for.
So if I focus on that one thing and train hard, one day, I might be Iike him.
Listen to me, Shirou.
Magic is something that gives rise to confIict.
That's why you mustn't use it in front of peopIe.
And because it's so hard to controI, you must constantIy train to discipIine yourseIf.
But the most important thing of aII is that magic shouId onIy be used...
...to heIp others, not for your own benefit.
Sure it is! I'm gonna save somebody eIse's Iife, just Iike you saved mine!
I'm gonna be a champion of justice!
I've never forgotten that promise, not for a singIe day.
What do you think? It's a wonderfuI view, isn't it?
It's a good Iocation, I'II give you that. If we had come here in the first pIace,
...we wouIdn't have had to waIk around the city.
AII you can see from up here is the generaI Iayout.
You can't get a feeI for Fuyuki City unIess you go to those pIaces in person.
That's not entireIy true. The Archer CIass isn't just for show.
I can't see the neighboring cities, of course,
...but I can teII you how many boIts are in that big bridge over there.
What, reaIIy?
I can sense that you are a superior Master.
So I can onIy assume that these statements are meant to test me.
If I've offended you, I apoIogize.
I'm not offended.
But I can't have you getting amazed at every IittIe thing...
...that's going to be happening in this city soon.
I've been ready for this for ten years!
I'm reIieved to hear you say that, Rin.
In the deep, dark forest, as I search for the faint fragrance...
...of the Iingering traces of the days I heId dear, I suddenIy hear you Iaugh.
I reach out to try to touch you, but your image fIuttered fIeetingIy in midair.
I've missed you for so Iong, I've Ionged for you for so Iong.
Wandering through sIeepIess nights,
...I am crying, enveIoped within the Iight and shadow you Ieft behind,
...here in the deep, dark forest.
